And rightly so. This has got to be either the most vapid liberal space cadet I ever seen, or the best political tongue-in-cheek satire known to man. Put Scrappleface, IMAO and Iowahawk together for a brainstorm session and you couldn't come up with better way to lampoon leftist thinking.
My personal favorite:
Just for that line, you can expect a little something extra in your secret monthly check from Karl Rove.
And yes, she is the blond daughter from Too Close for Comfort.
UPDATE: In his comments, Mr. Suleske expresses some reservations about Coulter. I have them too, ever since 9/11 where she advised that the US, regarding terrrorist states, "invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." She's yet to retract that statement.
Ann Coulter is who she is. She's a known quantity, a good columnist but not the end all, be all of American political thought. Her research is excellent, her logic is great, and her jabs are funny, but she always goes one step too far. In her defense, there has been, and currently is, behavior among the American left that borders on reckless, socialistic and treasonous. She calls it as such in the strongest terms she can think of.
Before doing family shows like Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos, Bob Saget did standup comedy that, to the chagrin of many, was actually quite raunchy and profane. More recently, he was interviewed about this period of his career. Saget said he wasn't trying to be dirty; he was just saying what he found to be the most funny. Coulter is the same way, saying what makes the most impact, while ignoring the appropriateness of those comments. The individual reader decides whether the good of what she says outweights the bad.
Also, it looks like Saget may be falling into his old routine.

I’ve been bewildered to the point of jaw-gnashing agony at how certain fundamentalists can call themselves Christian, when they do not follow the teachings of Christ! I feel I’m going insane. Right after the 2004 election when You-Know-Who was elected, I actually developed a nervous tic in my left eye, like the Police chief in the Pink Panther, who was driven berserk by Inspector Clousseau.

Protagonist, have you taken a look at some of the argument against Coulter by this fellow? I'm not suggesting he's right-minded in his (seemingly) one-man assault on Coulter, but I throw this out there for discussion.
Here's an interesting piece on Coulter's particular brand of argument. The salient bit:
But Amy also noted a rare, slow-motion answer: "When a young, conservative woman asked how Coulter could stand the awful things people said about her because of her stand on abortion, she hesitated, messed with her hair, and said: 'Well, it's the same way I don't care about anything else: Christ died for my sins and nothing else matters.' I think my jaw hit the floor."
Ms. Coulter is impressively right: It doesn't matter what people think about us. We know that those apart from Christ will often view Christians as fools unless God changes hearts, so the advice offered by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is good and right: "Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world."
And yet, while it doesn't matter what people think about us, it does matter what people think about Christ. Sophisticates showed contempt toward Paul's words in Athens (Acts 17), but some listened. What if, instead of arguing logically, he had ranted? Or, despite Paul's own personality and preferences, what if Areopagus leaders had allowed only sound-and-fury acts? Should Paul have contented himself with bopping the heads of his listeners?
